I received a shipment of UltraPure 0.5M EDTA, pH 8.0 (Cat. No. 15575020), but it was stored below 15-30 degrees C over the weekend. Can you confirm this product will still be stable?

We do not have specific data for temperatures below 15 degrees C for UltraPure 0.5M EDTA, pH 8.0 (Cat. No. 15575020). However, as long as the product was not frozen, the performance should not be affected.

What is the difference between EDTA and EGTA?

EDTA binds Mg2+ and Ca2+, while EGTA specifically binds to Ca2+. The use of EGTA may be favored in case where subsequent treatment with Mg2+ dependent enzymes is planned.

How does EDTA work?

EDTA reversibly binds Mg2+, Ca2+ as well as other divalent cations, thus inhibiting enyzmes that require these cations for activity.
